This will FPCL's 22nd year to be involved with this project. In 1993 there were only three congregations providing backpacks for less-advantaged children in Livermore. This year there are eight congregations that will provide nearly 800 children with backpacks filled with supplies that they'll need to start the school year and a giftcard for a new pair of shoes will also be included. Our church has committed to 150 backpacks again this year. With your help, we can succeed in reaching this goal. A contribution of $40 will cover the cost of one backpack, supplies and a shoe card, but any amount will be greatly appreciated. Contact Linda Alexander at 925-449-9305 or linda_alexander@sbcglobal.net

Livermore Homeless RefugeOur church has partnered with several churches in Livermore to be a part of the Livermore Homeless Refuge. FPCL is the weekend location for the refuge when the weather conditions are projected to drop below 40 degrees and/or rain is expected.

Neighbor2Neighbor“I will bless you so that you will be a blessing to others.”-God’s words to Abraham in Genesis 12

FPCL is not a church that sees itself as its own separate community, but rather understands itself as a part of the larger Livermore and Tri-Valley community. We strive to be a part of what makes our larger community stronger.

Neighbor2Neighbor is a program that plans and creates opportunities for our church to engage in acts of service and kindness that strengthen and help our community. These opportunities are intentionally designed to be “anonymous” acts of service and are accessible to people of ALL AGES. Neighbor2Neighbor is one way that our church seeks to “bless” our community without expecting anything in return. See more details here.
